Optimizing Brain Stimulation Parameters

Description

A primary purpose of this study is to better understand what stimulation parameters work best for patients. For example, for Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) of the Anterior Nucleus of the Thalamus (ANT), it is not clear what stimulation frequency leads is most effective. This study will help assess the effectiveness of low frequency or high frequency stimulation.
